Jon,
That is how the rear end was set up in the first place. I just bought a
truck with the same rear that you are describing. I hav no idea what it is
out of. Open drive train, but 5 bolt drums.

>The differential is a GM with removable carrier, sort of like a F%$d 9"....

>the spring perchs, which are in line with the axle, not offset to the front
>or rear.
